6 Easy Ideas to Make Your Wedding Into the One Everyone Will Remember for Decades
In a world where we have things like Etsy, Pinterest, YouTube, and DIY network television; there is just no end to the possibilities for a non-traditional wedding. In fact, it’s encouraged to use some of the bride and groom’s unique personalities and of course their love story on the big day. If you’re wanting to plan a day full of individuality, use these ideas as inspiration.
1. Love Story Photo Lane
Take a walk down memory lane by creating a photo path or simply display your love story for all to see. You could create a timeline on an empty wall near the cake table, or use frames from your parents’ houses to symbolize your joining together. You could even DIY a decoration just for the wedding stating your important dates, like the first date, other important dates just for your story, date of engagement and of course the big day.
2. Create a Custom Guestbook
Standard guest books that lay on the table as you enter are a thing of the past. Make it personal for you and your partner. Something as simple as a picture or monogram in the middle of a large white poster board, the guest signs the poster board and it becomes a decoration in your home for years to come, you could also use wood, or any other material that you are fond of. Choose the hobby, like puzzles, or interest that you as a couple are into, love travel, use a globe or map to be signed on and it could be a keepsake that you treasure forever. You get the picture, decide the memory or decoration you want to make with the guest book and DIY your heart out.
3. DIY Wedding Favors
Customize your wedding with personalized favors that your guest could use at home or even a keepsake they could use for years to come. Whether you choose a custom candle, soap or even the popular can koozies; anything that just screams remember their wedding and makes them smile thinking of the day.
4. Personalized Ceremony Backdrop
Create a stubbing ceremony backdrop that tells your story. Consider a DIY canvas, hanging polaroids, or a string of silk or paper flowers to match the wedding decor.
5. DIY the flowers
A bit of personalization with silk flowers, real if you’re really good at arranging and have the budget. Get creative with unexpected components like herbs, paper flowers or even succulents. Your guests will be impressed with the uniqueness of the day and want to take one home as a decoration.
6. Games for the Guests
Let’s get real, sometimes weddings are boring {for the guest} especially during that wait time if you do the pictures between the ceremony and reception. Set up a DIY photo booth with themed props, or create a game with trivia about the couple and how you met, or even set up a pinata for the kiddos. Something to make it fun for the guests in those gaps of time you need them to be entertained.
Breaking the norm opens the door to an array of endless creative possibilities, allowing you to design a wedding that really showcases your unique love story. These DIY wedding ideas are just the beginning—let them inspire you to light up your big day with a personal touch that will make your day truly unforgettable, for everyone. Cheers to breaking traditions and crafting a wedding day that is authentically and beautifully yours!
